Thread: Correct Wheels on a 68S

    Correct Wheels on a 68S

    What are the correct wheels for my 68S? It currently has 7x15s dated in 72, son these are obviously incorrect. A part number would be great.

    Thanks

    These are becoming hard to come by these days

    Thanks Nick,

    That's interesting, my thought was that an S would have come with 6x15 Fuchs.

    Sixes weren't available on production cars until 1969 MY. The standard tyres on the 5.5s were 145 x 15

    Nick - I think you've made a mistake there - std tyres fitted to the 5.5" Fuchs were 165 x 15.
